Arguably one of the most influential singers in the history of rock and roll, Mick Jagger brought street smarts, an encyclopedic knowledge of rhythm and blues, and a stage presence that blew apart established concepts of self-confidence and sex appeal as the lead singer of The Rolling Stones. Jagger was also the band's primary lyricist, and with longtime partner and foil Keith Richards, helped to pen some of the greatest rock songs of the 20th century, from "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Gimme Shelter" to "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Miss You" and countless others. For several generations of rock fans, he embodied the rock singer in its most complete form, as equal parts warrior-king, soothsayer, charlatan and shape shifter. And if his personal life occasionally strayed into the gossip pages, and his solo efforts lacked the band's electricity and drive, Jagger could be forgiven for most of his sins by virtue of his influence on hundreds of aspiring musicians who saw the truth about rock and roll in his sinuous moves and seductive lyrics.
